Patient Education

Sudden cardiac arrest -- or sudden cardiopulmonary arrest as it's also known -- is the leading cause of death. Fortunately, modern medicine has come up with a number of tools to help revive those who experience sudden cardiac arrest. Many of these emergency procedures require medical training and/or complex equipment; but one -- cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) -- needs no additional devices and can be performed by a layperson with only a little bit of training.
